All the airlines’ notification systems have improved markedly over the last few years. I’ve found Delta’s notification system to work really well for me after some initial fits and starts. These improved notification systems from the airlines are a big reason why I am having a hard time justifying a premium subscription to TripIt, which also features flight change notifications.

12 AAdvantage Miles Per Dollar from….. JC Penney?

Not a JCP fan, and I’m not sure what it says about them they’re offering 12 of arguably the best miles per dollar of spending at their online store via AAdvantageEshopping.com through July 20, 2013. Enter FABSAV10 at checkout to take 10 percent off your purchase too. I’ve seen better discounts than that from them in the past, but 10 percent is 10 percent. If they’ve got something you need available online, you might as well earn 12 AAdvantage miles per dollar for it.
